News - Noisey.com: the new live music experience featuring the best emerging bands around the world

This week marks the launch of Noisey.com, a new music discovery platform that profiles some of the most talented new bands and local music scenes from around the world. Through captivating original short videos, Noisey gives viewers unprecedented access to the lives of bands on and off the stage. By capturing the complete live music experience, viewers can join bands on the road and share their experiences as they get ready for a show, meet fans and industry insiders, and explore the city and its local culture.

Noisey showcases bands from more than 10 countries including US, UK, Brazil, Mexico, France, Germany, Spain, China, Japan, Canada, and Australia. Noisey is available in eight languages and offers an app-like web experience built on an above-the- fold, HTML5 user interface. Beyond Noisey's homepage, users can also find artists through a site-wide comment feed, allowing user activity to influence the discovery process.

Justin Young from The Vaccines, filmed by Noisey in Glasgow at The Captain's Rest, stated "Noisey were good people who understood what we were about and managed to get an in-depth and honest portrayal of what daily life entails for our band, without ever being invasive."
